Steam is a activate-on-play service where every time you start a game, the Steam client checks your account status (barriing those very few games that don't use Steam DRM). I guess a younger generation will probably find the GOG way a bother. I grew up downloading a game or software. You need a client and I don't want that client. Though that has something to do with consoles, steam works the same way. However, isn't that just wrong that you have to rebuy your old games from the PSN store in order to play the games you have laying right in front of you? I do not like it at all. You have the PSN store in case you have a newer console. I have a nice collection of PS1 and PS2 games which I still play. Steam doesn't.īy boycotting steam, not that they'll notice it that much, I make a statement that I do not like not having the rights to the games I paid for. It's a smaller community and it's more fun having a couple of closed friends around you than being at a party of 100 people. Regional pricing is a fair idea but executed wrong. Alright, in the case of AoW 3 that wasn't the case, but I am a fan and I guess i succumbed to it. Another thing is that I like flat pricing.


It's just the assurance of having my games secured. Steam will probably excist for years if not forever.

I prefer to have my own collection of games that I can backup anytime I like and install at any time, without needing a client that MIGHT shut down.
